FREDERICK KAFFEMAN,OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

DISPLAY-HOLDER FOR JEWELRY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 712,806, dated November 4, 1902.

Application led February 28, 1902. Serial No. 96,072. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK KAFFEMAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, county and State of New York, have invented certain new andv useful Improvements in Display-Holders for J ewelry, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a holder for finger-rings and other articles of jewelry which is so constructed that its charge may be readily brought into an upright or an inclined position. In this way the holder may be folded into a small compass when to be carried about, while a full display of its contents will be effected when the holder is unfolded.

In the accompanying'drawings, Figure l is a plan of a portion of my improved displayholder for jewelry; Fig. 2, a cross-section on line 2 2, Fig. l; Fig. 3, a longitudinal section on line 3 3, Fig. l, showing the racks lowered; Fig. 4c, a similar section on line 4 4, Fig. 1, showing the racks raised; and Fig. 5, a plan of the holder, on a reduced scale,-with the' formly-spaced stiff parallelribs b, the whole constituting abase. To the ribs b are-piv oted at c the lower ends of links c, tothe upper ends of which are pivotedat-d' a series y of longitudinal rails d. These rails are placed v along both sides of all inner ribs, but along Aed at both sides to the rails d at e' and at their bottomto the cloth a at c2. Each set of rails, together with its pockets, constitutes a rack which may be readily folded, Fig. 3, or raised into an upright position, Fig. 4. When folded, the racks are lowered and the rings are closely packed against the Wrapper, so that the latter may be readily rolled up and carried about. When raised, the rings will al1 be held in an upright position, to properly display their heads, gems, and setting. To facilitate the manipulation of the racks, one of each' pair of Yrails d is provided with a handle d2.

What I claim is- A display-holder for jewelry, composed of a flexible wrapper, a pair of parallel ribs secured thereto, a pair of rails, links for pivotfally connecting the rails to the ribs, and a series of transverse jewelry-holders arranged between and pivotally connected to both of said rails, substantially as specified.
